CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!

Extremely injury-prone. He's missed time in every one of his college years.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Johnston’s father has been in football for years as a strength and conditioning coach. Followed Matt Rhule from Baylor to Carolina.

Father was also Brett Favre’s best man; and Favre gave Clay a shout out as his “sleeper” just the other day on the Draft-a-thon. Favre may not be too objective here.

Johnston was productive in 2018 and productive early this year before a knee injury.

Not a fan of drafting players like this. If they can't stay on the field in college how are they going to stay on the field in the NFL where the players are bigger, faster, and stronger.

So they landed two injury prone Linebackers. That should help.

I think it’s time for Les to go.

This dude is my kind of player. Physical. Aggressive. Throwback. Refs gonna fuckin hate him lmao.

I don't disagree. But let's see how his 2020 roster does. If the OL rebounds he'll look like a genius. If not, pitchforks and torches baby!

I agree with you, but i suppose the argument would be that the player will be getting professional strength & conditioning in the NFL.

Looks like a special teamer that will run through doors to make a tackle. Rams need to improve special teams,

Plus it was a late 7th round pick.

 

[Lunchbox]

We needed a newer, younger Clay.

Johnston’s father is a strength and conditioning coach with the Carolina Panthers.

Good point.

Every player in late rounds has warts. If by chance he can stay healthy he seems to have the ability to make plays. Thinking again I don't mind the pick.

 

[Merlin]

This dude's a fuckin character lol. Hope he makes the team just for the press conferences.

Clay Johnston is PUMPED to be a Ram

This guy was picked as a sleeper by multiple people. Seems to be a solid player and dropped due to injury concerns. I like the upside for a 7th rounder. Special teams early and maybe in a year or two we have something.
